Club career

edit

Osasuna

edit

Fernández was born in Murcia. After one year with Mallorca's reserves,[2] he was promoted to Osasuna's first team for 2007–08 and played once during that season, in a 2–0 La Liga away loss against Almería on 21 October 2007 as starter Ricardo was suspended and Juan Elía was sent off in the 50th minute.[3]

The following years, Fernández continued to be third choice as well as the starter at the B side in the Segunda División B.[4] In mid-July 2010, after consecutively helping the Navarrese's reserves to retain their top-flight status but failing to move up the first team's pecking order, he joined Segunda División club Huesca on loan.[5]

Fernández returned for 2011–12 as Asier Riesgo's backup – the 39-year-old Ricardo was still on the roster – replacing the latter due to injury during the first half of a 0–0 draw at Atlético Madrid[6] and eventually finishing the campaign as first choice, appearing in all 38 league games and conceding 61 goals.[7]

Porto

edit

On 30 July 2014, Fernández signed a four-year contract with Porto, with the buyout clause being set at €30 million. He became the fifth Spaniard to join the Portuguese club after compatriot Julen Lopetegui took over two months earlier.[8]

Fernández made only four appearances during his spell, each in a different competition. His Primeira Liga debut was on 21 September 2014, in a goalless home draw with Boavista in the Derby da Invicta.[9]

Fernández was loaned to Granada on 17 July 2015, in a season-long move.[10] On 25 July of the following year, after playing all the matches but one to help his team again retain their top-tier status, he moved to Villarreal of the same league also in a temporary deal.[11]

Villarreal

edit

On 22 June 2017, Fernández joined Villarreal on a permanent four-year deal.[12] He had finished his first season as starter due to Sergio Asenjo's serious knee injury but, on 25 August, during a league game away to Real Sociedad, met the same fate.[13]

Fernández played second-fiddle to Asenjo until his departure, save for a brief period at the end of 2018–19.[14]

Huesca

edit

On 28 August 2020, Fernández agreed to a three-year contract at Huesca, newly promoted to the top division.[15][16] A backup to Álvaro Fernández, he contributed 16 appearances in his first season, suffering relegation.[17]

Levante

edit

On 18 August 2023, Fernández signed a one-year deal with second-tier Levante.[18]
